Does anyone have any data/experiences on the value, drawbacks, whatever of doing an MFA?

Management thanks you in advance. *g*

If you want to network with CanLit types, just start attending their readings on a regular basis, going out to the bar afterwards, and volunteering for their lit mags (quick! Before the federal government effectively puts them out of business with that no-mail-subsidies-for-circulation-under-10 000 thing). Much less hassle than attending a creative writing program! (in my experience)

Then again, if you can get a substantial scholarship, I suppose the MFA might be worth it.
